Our 30th Wedding Anniversary!

Here we are, looking like two little kids, on our wedding day, at the First Congregational Church, Holden, Massachusetts. I remember that it rained so hard during our ceremony that with the deluge on the roof I couldn't hear the minister give the vows. There was even some thunder! It stopped just in time for us to get to the luncheon reception (see the wet steps?). Everyone said that rain during a wedding is good luck. I guess that since we're celebrating 30 years it was very good luck!

The traditional anniversary gift for a 30th anniversary is "pearls," but the modern U.S. symbol is "'diamonds" (perhaps because traditionally diamonds are not until the 60th anniversary and few make it that far so they go with half of 60 and make 30 years diamonds also). The flower symbol is the Lily.
